5 W Main St, Northborough, MA
Crema's Take
“Tazza Caffe & Paninoteca is an owner-operated gem where the panini are genuinely exceptional—think carefully sourced Parma ham at various quality levels, perfectly toasted bread, and ingredient combinations that surprise and delight with every bite. The space has that warm, unhurried vibe perfect for lingering over coffee and conversation, and the owners' obvious care for quality extends to every detail, from the aroma that hits you at the door to the generously filled seasonal sandwiches that keep customers coming back.”

The panini here are SO good! It is clear that the on-site owners really care about quality ingredients and their customers. There are various levels of Parma ham depending on your palate and budget. The sandwiches are generous and can be shared. It is a tiny shop with several standing tables, so this is not a place to relax while dining. The brownies are to die for and often sell out, so get there early & make sure to get a latte. There is a nice selection of Italian products for purchase.
First time in, but won't be our last! Got the #7 and the #9, both delicious.
Tazza is a hidden gem! The sandwiches are delicious and the owner is lovely. My favorite sandwich is the Pavorti, but I have yet to have any sandwich that isn't amazing. Sandwich sizes are large and you could easily get two lunches out of a single sandwich.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Out of this world paninoteca! Every bite was unreal fresh bread, high quality ingredients, and flavors that seriously blew me away. Perfectly toasted, generously filled, and packed with taste. You can tell everything is made with care. If you’re a panini lover, this place is a must try. I’ll definitely be back! 🚀🥪
We got 2 delicious sandwiches from their seasonal menu: La Caprese Poiastro & the La Bomba. Right when you walk into the place, you're hit with this delicious smell. The type of smell where you automatically say to yourself - oh yeah, this place is gonna be good. The sandwiches were huge & packed with so much flavor in each bite - heavenly. The spot is beautifully decorated, the menu is on your right in big clear letters with the prices. It is ran by this lovely couple that has a cute portrait of themselves in The Simpsons version on the wall. The owner is very friendly, helpful, informative and patient if you're a first-timer here and have no idea what to get! Come and please try this place for yourself because if you don't, you're simply missing out.
